ok so i was trying to get the 32mm nut off for the axles but i accidentally took off the brakes first...upon putting the brakes back on i only assembled one side...i tried pushing in the brake but the obvious thing came to me and there was a shitload of pressure on the pedal...the other side i forgot to reassemble was leaking a bunch of brake fluid...so that metal piece thats supposed to push in the brake pads is locked at that spot and i was wondering how do i push it back in to reassemble it?!?!?! i know im a newb at this but im trying to learn

Im assuming you mean the piston in the caliper anyway old trick. Find a c clamp and one of the old break pads. Put the brake pad over the piston the put the c clamp on the back of the calipetr and the brake pad thats covering the piston. Then tighten the c clamp untill the piston goes all the way in. Oh and dont forget to pop the top on your brake fluid resovor. work everytime

 

Yup first thing to do is open your brake fluid cap in the engine bay. You can also try to use vice grips as they worked for me.
